Bill Voss Posted February 10, 2019 #1 Posted February 10, 2019 In 1975 I started building the Model Shipways Flying Fish (solid wood hull) When I was at the point of rigging the shrouds, the cat tore up the forestays tree tops and masts. Discouraged the model went into the attic. About 8 months ago. I was cleaning the attic and decided to restart the project. Heavy dust was removed and all the broken pieces were fixed or replaced. Now I’m rigging the yard braces and spencer gaffs. Not bad for a 40+ year project. usedtosail, russ, Baker and 9 others 12

coxswain Posted February 10, 2019 #5 Posted February 10, 2019 Impressive, Mr. Voss! Get yourself an extra ration of grog.........don't skimp on the pics, either you've done more in the last few hours than I've done in the last ten years! Steve M Bill Voss and mtaylor 2
Mr.Big Posted February 12, 2019 #6 Posted February 12, 2019 Congratulations!! Real nice job on the model and restoration of the feline damage. I've been there too as my cat likes teething on the dowels for the mast and one time attacked the rigging thread but it was material on the side and not on the ship. Bill Voss and mtaylor 2
Pete Jaquith Posted February 12, 2019 #7 Posted February 12, 2019 Bill, Very nice looking model. mtaylor and Bill Voss 2 Pete Jaquith Shipbuilder
Bob Cleek Posted February 12, 2019 #8 Posted February 12, 2019 Nice model and I expect it outlasted the cat in the end, didn't it? Bill Voss and mtaylor 2
